    Overall the food was good waiters were a bit rude however. They did seem very tired however I still expect a professional to be able to work through that and put their best face forward.

    We had a great experience for Valentine’s Day. The servers were very attending and the restaurant had nice ambiance. I especially liked that they offered a purchase of a dozen roses before the reservation, which allowed me to surprise my partner. As for food, everything we had was delicious. Definitely recommend the Spicy Salmon Tartare Cones, Handmade Cavatelli, and Truffle Filet.

    favorite restaurant in the whole of Los Angeles my only Comment is the music techno music in the middle of the day was drowning , yes, but he heard it too loud say him … I did hear a Tony Bennett song in the middle of that so I’m not sure maybe a afternoon crowd at 2 o’clock older. Otherwise, as always food with exceptional service, exceptional tablecloth crisp white , clean . delicious bread great service. And not gouging of prices since the beginning of the year, I appreciate that.
